“There’s some interest on both sides,” James said. “David has become a good friend of mine over the last few years. I think it would be great for this city to have a football club for sure. There’s interest on both sides, but it’s preliminary talks.”

Although Miami has four pro teams, nobody would be willing to call it a sports town. Majority of the people attending the games are just there to be scene. However, LeBron James is confident the city would support a soccer franchise.

“I think it could be huge,” James said. “You never know. I think this is a great town for soccer. There’s a lot of soccer players, there’s great youth soccer players here and people love the city as well. That definitely would help.”
